I made a fast sniff and this is what I found to be loaded and setting cookies:
/favicon.ico (I don't think this is mandatory since not all browsers get this icon, but it's worth keeping an eye on) (I got a 404m but still with a set-cookie for PHPSESSID)

that is what I have told you in the other question about "resources that set cookies". that is just a particular naming I guess. but such resources do not need to be gifs. I've seen jpg's used for the same purpose. even imahes that were needed (like a check code in a registration form, or a header or background image). these will be loaded by browser or other content displaying softeware but will not be accessed by crawlers (webmasters don't exactly care about the crawlers, they tend to want information from real users, so this is a good way to get it)

sorry for not saying anything. I left country saturday morning. I tried to get a fix until then, but couldn.t so I thought I'd research it on my spare time here (I'm on bsssines here).

I managed to find te problem though nothing I tried seems to solve it. it could be a bug in indy, but I am not sure yet.
the way it goes is like this:
- after you do the post command, you will receive an aswer that sets 2 cookies" user name and password thing. now, what I managed so far si to have the username cookie included. this is very ackward as both username and password cookies are being processed the same, but the last one does not get included. this I still have to see why.

I will post again when I have mor einfo. if I happen not to resond for more than 3 days, then please do post a "reminder" message :) (It happens to me that I forget things)

thanks

hi there,

would u have time these days to find out more pls ?
other component that works would be great too. but I doubt there`s any other FREE component that does what Indy does ...

didn't forget, just that as I said I am out of the country and only have internet access at this office in which I have to work so my free time windows are very limited. but I am working on it when I get an open window and have an idea to test. I hope to get to the bottom of this issue this week.

keep buzzing me if I don't reply in a 3 day period :)

thanks

hi ciuly,

anything new ? I should move on with the project I`m working on :((( grr ...

ciuly could u take a look on this plss http://www.torry.net/authorsmore.php?id=5735 ?
it has TONS of options there !!! I`ve installed it but I can`t get it how to use the post method ... I mean I`m not sure where to put the parameters yet ...

many sorry's. I am still not in my country and that is why I worked so slowly on EE in general (lost about 50000 points to russel and lost 1st place from the top15 yearly :( )

anyway, I am almost stupid :)) so I was trying a lot of things here but probably got the reading o
f the ethereal wrong, because the cookies were set ok even before I left the country. It just that I had an extra get that messed up the logged in verification (see commented code)
so, the code is a little messy, I won't clean it up as it's not a big deal to clean it up. jut delete the unnecessary comments, and do some fixes for the hardcoded stuff and you should get it working. it might work with the original code I changed as well provided that you don't use that extra get I did on the /portal. I won't check this now, but you can check it if you want.

ll:=pos('<a class="tn" href="logout">log out',html)>0;
end;
except on e: EIdHTTPProtocolException do
begin
if e.ReplyErrorCode<>302 then
raise e;
// now this is the redirect
count:=IdCookieManager1.CookieCollection.count;// get the next cookie (this will be the userid)
for i:=1 to count do
cookies.Add(IdCookieManager1.CookieCollection.Items[i-1].CookieText);
